Upstream of Consciousness wants to be a collection of interviews that only contain answers. I will provide 5 phrases, words, quotes, links, pictures, or videos (in italics) and your consciousness will provide the rest. Responses can be short or long, real or fictional, words, links, or anything in between. In return, each of my "subjects" will give me 1 item back which I will then respond to (under the heading Ripple, with a number next to it). Come, swim for a while.

Ripple (2)

2. Familiarity [Audrey]

When you begin to recognize someone’s smell, their walk, their laugh. They become an unspoken part of your world. I rarely recognize the beginning, and am surprised at the end to find that without a particular person the air around me is incredibly different.


I know you,
you who are
a part of me,
like the wind
is a part of the leaves
gliding.

    I am in complete agreement. I know a boy who smells like leaves, twigs, sex, dirt, hair product, musk and more sex, always. I've never smelled anything like it. His touch is always light, it completely matches his laugh. And when he leaves the room you can feel a little bit of you die inside. The air in the room becomes thinner.
